It's another day in Section 60, the plot of land in Arlington Cemetery recently dedicated to the incoming dead from Iraq and Afghanistan. 30 soldiers a day are buried there. Section 60 follows the arrival of Marine Private First Class L.E. Nott, he is greeted by the other ghosts of Section 60 who share their stories of how they got there. As with the thousand other funerals in Arlington every month, the day ends, the living leave, and the ghosts are left there with each other. Bound at sunset by a unique brotherhood that binds them together forever. Ready for the new dead who will arrive in the morning.
